2nd hand Samsung from 3 years ago is still better and cheaper.

Cheaper? Yes. Better? Hell no, unless you can root it and install a custom ROM.

Tbh it’s not as bad as I was expecting. Those clips could definitely have resulted in an accident, but the system seems to actually work most of the time. I wonder if it couldn’t be augmented with lidar at this point to make it more reliable? A live stress test is ridiculously irresponsible and will definitely kill people, but at least it’s only Texans at risk (for now).

I was skeptical of the idea of robotaxis, but this kind of sold me on it. If they’re cheaper than human drivers, I might even be able to get rid of my car some day. It doesn’t change the fact that I’ll never get into one because the CEO is a nazi though.

Anyone know why the Signal app isn’t available on F-Droid? Isn’t it supposed to be open source?

My parents’ feeds are already getting flooded with videos about how evil and scary Iran is

Throw Musk in prison for his many documented crimes, but don’t support this kind of dictator shit.

Didn’t the Trump admin suspend enforcement of foreign anti-bribery laws? Microsoft just has to write a check to the right person to kill this.

The problem is education. People know how to use Windows/Microsoft products, and are too lazy to learn anything else. Saying “that other thing sucks” is easier than admitting “Idk how to use that other thing, and I’m too lazy to learn”, especially in a corporate environment where you can’t climb ladders by acknowledging your own shortcomings.

Get LibreOffice/Nextcloud/etc into schools, and the problem will be solved in a single generation.

This is why grammar is important, and “grammar nazis” are the only good kind of nazis.

Don’t use drugs to solve a problem like this. You’ll just build a tolerance and solve nothing.

Look into strength training as others suggested. Start with bodyweight exercises before moving on to weights. It’ll take a while though as you’ll need to experiment to find what works, and ofc exercise isn’t an overnight thing.

Maybe also consult a physical therapist.

And if all of that is too much, running isn’t the only effective cardio exercise. Cycling, swimming and less obvious/weird ones like slideboard mountain climbers, which should all be easier on the knees

I used Java years ago for Android dev, but stopped when I stopped doing that. Every once in a while I’ll get the itch to work on a new project, and always wonder if Java would be a good idea.

My hesitance is that I don’t trust Oracle (and don’t know to what extent they’re involved nowadays), I’m not familiar enough with the ecosystem to know what is legacy crap to avoid, and I think it’s generally seen as an uncool language, and I’m way too cool to be taking such risks.

I used to be a programmer and now I fix cars professionally

How does that happen, if you don’t mind me asking?

Coca Cola™ and Micro Plastics™ are a match made in heaven.

OP is 37 degrees away from peak masculinity. We need more people to do this to determine the correct amount of ridicule they deserve.

Per internet rules, capitalization can only be used for emphasis LIKE THIS. Doing it any other way is just bad grammar and, as a result, confusing.

and how to use is safely.

Such as by disconnecting the ethernet and power cables

I’ve been trying tk get family to switch to Linux, but some are irrationally attached to MS Word. I wonder if Office 2003 will run in Wine?

I didn’t say being fat “is a binary choice”, and I never mentioned anything about fad diets.

I get the impression that I’ve struck a nerve, and you just want to lash out. Sorry if I upset you, but this is unproductive. Your comments aren’t addressing anything I’m saying, you’re just throwing stuff out to vent.

I have loved ones who are obese. If you’re struggling with your weight, fwiw, I don’t believe you’re worth less because of it. But please don’t spread misinformation, and instead take the time to learn more about the topic. If not for your own sake, for the sake of others who might be lured away from the path to recovery by misinfo you may unintentionally spread.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at with the diet question. That neither invalidates nor supports what I said.

If someone wants to be fat, they can be fat. I don’t care what other people do with their lives. I’m just pointing out that the reason why a person becomes fat is well-known, proven science. Denying that is akin to vaccine skepticism; it’s actively harmful to society. The past 8 years are a great example of what happens when we allow misinformation and pseudoscience to propagate, even if it seems silly/fringe/nobody-actually-believes-that.

This is like vaccine skepticism.

Fat people are fat because they eat too much.

If Bob has a “slow metabolism”, then Bob should stop eating desert after dinner if he doesn’t want to be fat.

whereas Stuhl was more like a simple stool (a small foot rest or seating without any back rest or arm rests). In German we use “Schemel” or “Hocker” to describe such a stool.

So what you’re saying is that the meme doesn’t work in German either, because the furniture in the meme would be referred to as a “Schemel” rather than a “Stuhl”

This meme is an abortion of human language smh
